Default So simple, but I can't get it to work

Typo. Use =if(b2="","",b2)

You're getting a result of 0 rather than blank. In A1, try:

=if(b1="","",b1)

I need A1(formatted as a date) to equal the value in B2 which is also a
date.
However, if B2 is blank, I also want A1 to remain blank, but it is
currently
always returning 1/0/00. I've tried everything I can think of but I
can't
get it to work! Thanks for your help.
